First-rate center block tone

The most recognizable feature on any center block guitar is it’s acoustics, and trust us: this guitar is chock full of audial potential. This model includes a semi-hollow body which, when paired with a center block build, allows for maximum resonance and character through both of the guitar’s F-holes. The result is an axe that proves its worth in both studio and stage settings — you won’t even need to plug it in to appreciate its wonderfully antique tone. And once you decide to amp up, you’ll be given a palette of tonal options, courtesy of the Double Cut Center Block’s three-way pickup switch.

Broad’Tron pickups deliver uncontested power

When it comes to Gretsch’s pickup choices, the Broad’Tron humbucker is known for its power — and this Double Cut Center Block bears them in style. Gretsch designed these pickups to spit out Gretsch tone at a decisive volume, amounting to a warm tone with plenty of sonic reach. Though these powerful pickups exude resonant lows and a pronounced midrange, it still manages to capture the high-end chime that’s to be expected in a Gretsch guitar. A 3-position toggle switch allows players to experiment with any combination of the two pickups, while volume knobs for each permit further tone sculpting. A master volume and a master tone knob complete the electronics on the 140th Double Platinum Edition Double Cut Center Block for tone that can blend seamlessly with other instruments while exhibiting plenty of classic Gretsch charm.
